Did a weekend visit from the UK. 8th to 12th September. Mary Poppins, Book of Mormon, Anything Goes, Follies and Lion King..all a family choice..I have to say my 76 year old mother's favourite was Book of Mormon!I won't waste your time on here with reviews as you've all heard it before. So I'll stick with Anything Goes..we arrived at the theatre and were hit with a wall of very disgruntled audience memebers as Sutton Foster was off. The mainly ancient audience were not happy that the star was not appearing..as we had never seen Ms Foster we were not that bothered. I don't know what we missed but then again we got Tari Kelly..everything I could wish for from a leading Broadway lady..loved her..the whole production is a touch of class very simply done..we even forgave Joel Grey messing up all his words in Friendship..the whole weekend was a joy..the one show I was expecting to hate was Lion King..loved it..the only negative experience was staying at Waldorf Astoria..money sadly wasted...this was the worst hotel I have ever stayed in..dreadful service, accommodation and no value for a lot lot lot of money..hilton family hang your heads in shame.
